I dissevered this the hard way. Put this into the script of a scrollbar:
on scrollbardrag put the thumbposition of me into x put x into field 1 put x*1 into field 2 end scrollbardrag You will find that field 1 gets the round(x) while field 2 gets the decimal value of the thumb position, that is you may see 2 into field 1 but 2.3455 in field 2. Furthermore, if one puts x into a variable, the script window shows only the round value. But if you use that value in a calculation the value becomes the decimal value. It is helpful to have access to the decimal value of the thumb position, but it is confusing to see only the round of that value in the editor. Is this an old issue that I am just stumbling over? Jim Hurley P.S. If you use "On scrollbardrag x" in the script of the scroll bar, then x is ONLY the whole number value of the scrollbar value. Beware of other scripts that use the scrollbar thumb position. That position will be DISPLAYED as the whole number in the script, but will ACT as the decimal value of the thump position. This really hung me up. _______________________________________________ use-livecode mailing list use-livecode@lists.runrev.com Please visit this url to subscribe, unsubscribe and manage your subscription preferences: http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-livecode
